It is some leftist wishful thinking...
But they accept that Britain will go along with an American-led war in almost all circumstances, including a conflict in the spring if Washington is determined to launch an early campaign.

There's nothing in this story that directly indicates that Britain has actually urged us to delay anything. I'd be surprised if they do.

Bankrupt Britain doesn't have any army equipment anywhere near ready for our Mid-East war [A recent excercise in Oman was three years in the planning -- and less than three days in the abject failing!] and can neither get any ready in time -- nor get it to Iraq to be on time -- not even for a 'photo op.
And, when it boils right down to it -- who cares?
